Another big wave of completed live
auction sales from the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
New York conference dominates this week's domain sales
chart. To make room for all of those sales we expanded our usual Top
20 chart to 30 positions this week. Moniker.com
alone piled up 13 chart entries from their live sale. Aftermarket.com
and RickLatona.com
also notched multiple chart entries from their live auctions at the
conference.

Moniker swept the top three spots with BirthdayPresents.com
at $80,000 and a pair of names at $70,000 each; Plans.com
and Date.me. The latter name was one of four .me (Montenegro
ccTLD) domains to crash the all extension leader board. A fifth
country code, #24 Games4U.co.uk, also made the elite list
after changing hands for £9,000 ($14,400) at Sedo. The only other
non .com domains on the chart were #7 Illinois.org ($31,000)
and #12 (tie) Camera.net ($20,000).

The biggest non auction sale was Optimo.com's$50,000 sale of#4 DirectBrands.com. Sedo.com
was next with #5 All-In.com at $40,000, one of three
chart entries for them. SnapNames.com
was the only other everyday venue with multiple entries, scoring
with a pair of numerical domains, #9 650.com at $27,000
and #25 512.com at $14,120.

One major venue, the AfternicDLS,
was missing in action this week. Their data did not arrive prior to
our deadline, so their results will have to wait for next week's
report.

Here is how all of the top sellers stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, November 2:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Forthe many newcomers entering the domain
industry we also want to point out that the reasons why a domain name sells for a certain price can be varied and are not always clear to those who are unfamiliar with the domain market.
If you do not understand why specific domain names command the
prices they do, you are likely to make unwise domain registrations or purchases.
We highly recommend that you do some basic research beforeyou buyanything! As a starting point we have
built a sister site specifically for you at NameNewbie.com.

There were eight more 5-figure sales just off the
chart. Three of those came from the Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction; WhiteRoses.com
($11,000), Show.me ($10,000) and RolePlay.com
($10,000). Moniker also sold CareProviders.com from their
website for $10,350. Aftermarket.com moved Regiment.com
($11,000), DomainRaiders.com
reaped $10,200 for Painted.com, Sedo sewed up $10,000
with Fliq.com and MDJ.com changed hands for $10,000
in a private sale.
